Do you have use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route; at the top of your web.php? – Chimpanzee

@Chimpanzee If that added in alias then no need to import in a particular file. That's the advantage of using an alias. – Entoderm

I understand how they work and I am not suggesting that you should have that line included. Whether or not you have it included helps me understand the source of the issue. – Chimpanzee

Aliases are registered at runtime so they are not in the namespace and Intelephense cannot pick them up.

See the question asked on the Intelephense project in Github https://github.com/bmewburn/vscode-intelephense/issues/1116

"These classes don't exist in the workspace. Laravel creates them at runtime. As such they are reported as undefined. The solution is to either provide stub definitions https://github.com/barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper or turn off the diagnostics (intelephense.diagnostics.undefinedTypes)."
